The screen swap was easy peasy, the hardest part was getting the old screen out. Mine was already broken, and I wasn't keeping the front plastic, so I didn't have to worry about being too careful, except around the top edge where the mics and ambient light sensor are.

The case swap was a bear, took forever. I'm fairly handy, but the whole process took almost 4 hours. My buddy was doing his in tandem with me and he was over 5 hours, and that's with me lending a hand towards the end.

It looks great, in my opinion, and I'd do it again, I'd just start earlier in the day 😬

As far as the OLED goes, so far it looks good. The stock brightness slider isn't working, it must be a software thing? I have had zero time to look into it. I haven't even played a single game on it since doing the swap. I'll report back when I have time to give it a fair shake.

Now that is seriously good to know! Espevially if you've got slow internet like me.

I splurged originally though haha, I have a 512gb Q3 deck, getting a 2tb or 1tb drive isn't a huge incentive since I just have a bunch of 512gb sd cards, but if I open it up id rather just do it all at once ya know

Slow Internet users unite!

Mine could be worse, it's 30/10. Had it for a few years. Before that it was 10/1 though, for like 10 ish years. And before that? For a significant portion of my teenage years, it was 1.5/.5.

Before that, my young childhood was all dialup. DSL existed, we just didn't have it 😬

Right now they're putting fiber in my town though! Soon I'll have access to 8000/8000 if I wanted! That's way too much though, I'm gonna go for their lowest tier, which costs the same as I'm paying now, but gives me 300/300. Plenty fast for anything I need to do these days. Nice to know the capacity is there if I need more 🤷‍♂️
